LNFANTILK PARALYSIS
The prevalence of Infantile par
ilrals was not long without what
Ut^rna at least a plausible explana
tion. Dr. Kebler. of the United
States bureau of chemistry, states
that h^ believes that this Infant mor.
tallty Is attributable to the us? ol
toothing syrups containing poison
ous drugs, and of this the Baltimore
3un says:
"This Is a statement of s most se
rious character, snd1 the matter
ihould be carefully Inrestlgated.
"When a mother Is wearied out
with a fretful Infant the temptation
to quiet It with a drug which sh? li
assured by the label on the bettle
la harmless Is almost Irresistible. II
Is intJjpated by Dr. Kebler thst the
turses often give drugs surreptitious
ly to the children la their care In or
ler to save the trouble of quieting
them. If Dr. Kebler Is right la what
he says, a way to sav? lif? la pre
tented to all local boards of health,
rhere should be an Investigation to
"Certain just what drugs of th?
character Indicated are sold In the
rations communities, and the sale ol
those that are dangerous should be
prohibited. And then mothers should
be warned and Instructed what tc
nee and to avoid.
v'"That which la more fatal to In
fanta even than druga Is feedtai
them wjtti milk or other food which
has been Impaired by the hot weeth
sr. It la likely that many of th? trou.
hies for %hlch drags are used arise
